New YORK, June 1@.-Before the reassem
bling of the oyer and terminer court Satur
dav after recess, Mr. MARITIME called Messrs
Nelson and Stickney, of Sharp's counsel, asid,
and made the following statement; Wv,
deem it proper at this stage of the case to in
form you that William H. Maloney, the read
ing clerk of the 1884 board of aldermen, ha
turned states evidence, and will testify a
the trial We tell you this in order to be fail
and not take you by surprise. You hav
ample time to make such arrangements a
you please.
After the adjournment of court Mr. Shar]
and his counsel held long private consulta
tation in ore of the vacant rooms, Mr.
Sharp says that no testimony that Malone,
can give will injure his case, as he does no
believe that twelve men can find an innocen
man guilty. He also says that a verdict O
guilty with its consequent Imprisonment
would be a sentence of death to him.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL.
A Petition From the Union Pacific
Railroad.

Mr.. Noland, special messenger Of the Union
Pacific Railroad CO., arrived at the headquarters
OF the Interstate Commission this morning with q
petition from that corporation for the suspension
OF the fourth section Of the interstate He left
copy with Secretary Moseley, and left for the
South with the original, with the view Of over
taking the Commission at New orleans and pro-
curing immediate action upon the petition. When
the fourth section OF the law was suspended as to
other transcontinental lines the Union Pacific
had not petitioned for such action.
The petition is similar in character to
those OF the Northern and Southern Pa
ci1c Railroads. 1t sets forth that through
sarily conducted under circumstances and condi-
tiOns substantially dfSSimilar from those under
which the intermediate local transportation is
conducted; that the road is subject to competi-
uOn with the Canadian Pacific Railroad, the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, clipper ships,
tramp steamers and other vessels running be-
tween Pacific and Atlantic ports The petition
also represents that tariff on freight and passen-
ger business, prepared on the assumption that the
fourth section OF the law applied to the Union
Pacific, had been put In force, and as result the
through trans-continental business OF the road
e law Wees and the Per
that business now being done is 'very incOnsider-
able" III the rates, continues the petition, 'for
intermediate local traffic should be reduced to
rates not greater than those which are requisite
In order TO enable your petitioner to do any sub
stantial part Of the through business the whole
would be wholly inadequate to the payment OF
their fixed charges"
1t is further stated that while the q. P manage
ment verify believes that the circumstances and
conditions OF its through business are actually
dfssm1lar from those under which intermediate
traffic has to be conducted yet the penalties pre-
scrtbed by the law so stringent and severe that
the managers have feared, without the assent Of
the Commission, to put In force tariffs for
through business that would enable the road to
get It's share thereof The road asks permission to
charge less for longer than for shorter hauls in
other words, that the fourth section OF the act be
suspended as TO the Union Pacific and its branches
The petition further sets forth that as to points
in the interior and On the Mississippi and Missouri
Rivers, the Union Pacific is brought into competd-
uOn with water rates; that to all such points, as
also where the road is in competition with the Sac
ramento. San Joaquin, and Columbia Rivers and
the lakes 1t Is necessary to charge less for long
than for a short haul. The Commission is urged
to suspend the 4th section of the law to all the
business OF the Union Pacific, and the fact is cited
that that section had already been suspended for
the Southern Pacific, the Northern Pacific, the
OF the Union Pacific.

LONDON, April 29.-Last nights debate was OF
Moderate interest. The government majority OF

dent was that in the division on the Belfast drain
age bill the liberal party voted together for the
nrst time since the split, and the government was
consequently defeated. THIS was hailed ia the
lobbieS as good omen.
The report OF Gladstone's remarks at a private
dinner OF the labor members is accurate, though
exaggerated In form. What Gladstone really said
was that after the Phoenix Park murder Parnell
expressed to him his Willingness to retire from
public life IL Gladstone thought 1t would be for the
best interests OF Ireland that he should do So
The popular view of
PARNELLS RECENT VISIT TO IRELAND,
regards him as delving among boxes full OF old
letters, unearthing documents with the dust OF
years upon them, weighed down himself with in
dignatlon and passionate desire to be avenged on
ms malignant adverSar1es Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth. He has simply been fishing
